Can I use a Rax200 with Orbi?
We have RAX200 and over 80 devices. I think we need a mesh network. Can we use the Orbi or any WiFi 6 mesh system with the RAX200 router or do we need to get a mesh system and sell the router? Thank you for your help.
Either could work. You could shut off the wifi on the rax or leave it on.
I usually leave it on and just make sure its on different channels than what the orbi is using to prevent interference.

Either route would work.
I've went with my RAX200---->orbi system before. It worked great.
I used the RAX for the devices close to the router and let the mesh handle things on the peripheral.
If you go that route you just need to put the mesh system in access point mode to prevent a double nat.
Would the RAX stay as ethernet only, while the orbi works for WIFI? I'm sorry I'm new to this. Thank you :)
